ONE PIECE Musou Action
Based on the concept of creating a “realistic ONE PIECE battlefield experience,” this title pursues the “ONE PIECE battlefield experience,” featuring buildings that are destroyed in action and the atmosphere of smoke and dirt in the air. By implementing new elements that were not possible in previous titles in the series, such as “Destruction Action,” “Aerial Musou Action,” and “Form Change,” the “ONE PIECE WARRIORS” action is more exhilarating than ever before.
Relive Drama and Unique Stories
In “Dramatic Log,” a mode that allows players to enjoy the anime stories unique to the ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS series, players can also relive the popular episodes of the ONE PIECE anime, such as the Entry to the New World Arc, the Dressrosa Arc and the Whole Cake Island Arc.
Additionally, the Wano Country Arc that is currently being aired in the anime will be depicted in the game’s original storyline. Players can experience the new adventures of the Straw Hat Crew in Wano Country, as well as the development of the story that is unique to ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS.
The First Online Four-Player Co-op Game in the ONE PIECE: PIRATE WARRIORS Series
This title supports four-player online co-op play. Players can experience four types of co-op battles – the first being the Giant Boss Battle mode, where four players fight to defeat powerful enemies that appear one after another. Other co-op battles include the Total Bounty Battle, where each player raises the bounty placed on them to proceed with the mission; the Timed Defense Battle, where players defend their team’s territory for a certain period of time while dealing with various situations; and Territory Battle, where three teams of four characters would need to fight over territory.
